Hi Kafka devs, Seeing that we have over a 1000 PRs and that we want to try to keep the number low. I was thinking if it would make sense to go through the oldest PRs and ping the authors to see if they want/can to go back to them and finish them. If they don't or we can't get any answer, we could close the PRs after 2 to 3 weeks. We can create a label to mark these PRs in case we want to go back to them easily. If the author, however, states that they are still interested in bringing the PR to completion, we the committers should do our best to review them. As an example, we currently have 344 PRs that were created before January 1st 2020 (not included), to put this in perspective of Kafka versions, these happened before or at the time of 2.4.0. If this is something that people would generally agree to, we could organize a task force to go over these PRs created before January 1st 2020 and ping the authors. I would volunteer to be part of this task.
